SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,805, dated February14, 1882.

Application filed December 30, 1881. (N0 model.) i

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES A. WOOD, a citizen of the United States,residing atltochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Boilers, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein .tothe accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a vertical sectionalview of a boiler embodying my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the removable closed cup.

This invention has relation to improvements in boilers for cooking; andit consists in the novel construction and arrangement of partshereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates aremovable threaded base attached to a double-walled flue, B, pass ingthrough a cold-water reservoir or pan, 0. This. pan or reservoir 0 ispreferably supported by braces D. The double-walled flue B is providednear its bottom with pipes E E, connecting the cold-water pan 0 with theinterior of the double-walled flue B.

At the top of the double-walled flue B. a re ceptacle, D, isprovided,havin g alid, F, loosely fitting therein. This lid F has acentral pro: jection, G, which is intended to form a space, H, betweenit and the top of a condenser, I, which extends down into the water-pan,as shown. The receptacle D converges from the top toward the bottom, asshown, and a perforated diaphragm, J, is seated in the bottom thereofwhen the device is employed in cooking vegetables. The double-walledflue B has a series of perforations or openings, a, near its upper end,in the outer wall thereof, to permit the escape of the heated air in thespace b and also to prevent the water in the pan 0 from becoming heated.

Within the receptacle D a close or unpersired to cook the articleswithout having the steam coming in contact therewith.

The device is to be set on a stove or over a flame togenerate the heatrequired.

This device is cheap andsimple and its utility is obvious. Y Having thusfully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In a cooking-boiler,the combination of the removable base, the double-walled flue having thetubes or pipes connecting the interior of the flue B with the water-pan(l, the receptacle D, the perforated diaphragm, the cover, andcondenser, substantially as specified.

2. In a cooking-boiler, the combination of a steam generator and flue,the receptacle D, the closed cup or vessel K, the lid F, having theprojection G, and the condenser I, substantially as specified 3. In acooking-boiler, the combination, with the cold-water pan, of thedouble-walled flue B, having the pipes E E and the perforations a in itsouter wall, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof I affixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
